Contradiction with Revelation 3:7
Revelation 3:7 states that Jesus has the power to open and shut doors that no one can reverse, which aligns more than contradicts Job 12:14 about God's irrevocable acts, but if interpreted about different aspects of control, it may pose contrast in consideration of authority.
Revelation 3:7: And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Contradiction with Isaiah 22:22
Isaiah 22:22 talks about being given the key of the house of David, implying authority to open and shut, which could contrast with God's sole authority mentioned in Job 12:14 if considering human delegation.
Isaiah 22:22: And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Contradiction with Matthew 16:19
Matthew 16:19 gives Peter the keys to bind and loose, suggesting human authority in binding and loosing, which might contradict the singular divine control in Job 12:14.
Matthew 16:19: And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Contradiction with John 20:23
John 20:23 speaks about the disciples' power to forgive or not forgive sins, indicating a form of delegated power that can initiate what is 'bound' or 'loosed', diverging from the idea in Job 12:14 of God’s unchangeable decisions.
John 20:23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
Paradox #1
This Bible verse might show a contradiction by highlighting the struggle to understand the balance of power between humans and divine will. It can be seen as conflicting when considering human free will and our ability to change circumstances, suggesting a tension between divine control and human autonomy.
